Boland Cavaliers aim to fix set-pieces ahead of Lions challenge in Currie Cup
Mthokozisi Gumede can add some power to the Boland Cavaliers' scrum against the Lions.
The Boland Cavaliers' return to the Currie Cup has been anything but boring.
Their first match back in the Premier Division since 2019 ended with a dramatic win against the Cheetahs, after they went the length of the field after the hooter to eventually score in the 88th minute.
Last weekend's clash against Griquas in Kimberley saw them involved in another high-scoring thriller, but this time they were outgunned by the hosts, who laid the platform for their victory with top set-piece dominance.
Boland's scrum, particularly on the opposition's ball, has been a concern in both. They have conceded a plethora of penalties at scrum time, and have had to rely on their dangerous backs to keep them competitive.
This weekend, they face a home clash against a strong Lions outfit that will again test them at scrum time. The Lions have been one of the form teams in the competition, having made light work of the Sharks and Western Province in their opening two matches.
